BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION (1) Field of the Invention (2) Descriptionof Related Art Including Information Disclosed under 37 CFR 1.97 and1.98

The disclosure and prior art relates to seat devices and moreparticularly pertains to a new seat device for securing a child in abarber chair.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above bygenerally comprising a barber chair that has a seat and a backrest. Abooster seat is positionable on the barber chair and a child may beseated on the booster seat for a haircut. A pair of belts is eachcoupled to the booster seat and the belts are matable to each other.Each of the belts is secured around the backrest on the barber chairwhen the booster seat is positioned on the barber chair. In this way thebooster seat can be secured to the barber chair. A harness is coupled tothe booster seat and the harness is secured over the child seated in thebooster seat.

There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more importantfeatures of the disclosure in order that the detailed descriptionthereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that thepresent contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There areadditional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafterand which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.

The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features ofnovelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out withparticularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of thisdisclosure.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING(S)

The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than thoseset forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to thefollowing detailed description thereof. Such description makes referenceto the annexed drawings wherein:

FIG. 1 is a top perspective view of a booster seat assembly according toan embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 2 is a top view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 3 is a back view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 4 is a left side view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

FIG. 5 is a perspective in-use view of an embodiment of the disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through5 thereof, a new seat device embodying the principles and concepts of anembodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the referencenumeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5, the booster seat assembly 10generally comprises a barber chair 12 that has a seat 14 and a backrest16. The barber chair 12 may be a barber chair 12 of any conventionaldesign and the barber chair 12 may be positioned in a barber shop, asalon and any other location where barber chairs may be found. A boosterseat 18 is provided and the booster seat 18 is positionable on thebarber chair 12 to have a child sit therein for a haircut. Thus, thechild is elevated to enhance positioning of the child to for getting ahaircut. The booster seat 18 has a seat portion 20, a backrest portion22 and a pair of armrests 24. The backrest portion 22 has a top side 26and a back side 28, and the seat portion 20 has a top side 30 and afront side 32.

A pair of belts 34 is provided and each of the belts 34 is coupled tothe booster seat 18. The belts 34 are matable to each other and each ofthe belts 34 is secured around the backrest 16 on the barber chair 12when the booster seat 18 is positioned on the barber chair 12. In thisway the belts 34 secure the booster seat 18 to the barber char. Each ofthe belts 34 extends away from the back side 28 of the backrest portion22 of the booster seat 18. Additionally, each of the belts 34 has adistal end 36 with respect to the booster seat 18 and the distal end 36of each of the belts 34 is matable to each other.

A harness 38 is coupled to the booster seat 18 and the harness 38 issecured over a child seated in the booster seat 18. The harness 38includes a set of first straps 50 and each of the first straps 50 iscoupled to the top side 26 of the backrest portion 22 of the boosterseat 18. Additionally, each of the first straps 50 has a distal end 52with respect to the booster seat 18. A buckle or other type ofreleasable fastener is coupled to the distal end of each of the firststraps 50.

The harness 38 includes a second strap 54 that is coupled to the topside 26 of the seat portion 20 of the booster seat 18, and the secondstrap 54 is positioned closer to the front side of the seat portion 20than the backrest portion 22. The second strap 54 has a distal end 56with respect to the booster seat 18 and the distal end 56 of the secondstrap 54 is matable to the distal end 52 of each of the first straps 50.A buckle engagement of other type of mechanical fastener is coupled tothe distal end of the second strap 54 for releasably engaging thebuckle. The harness 38 further includes a pair of lateral straps 58 thatis each coupled between a respective one of the first straps 50 and anintersection between the seat portion 20 and a respective one of thearmrests 24.

In use, the booster seat 18 is positioned on the barber chair 12 when achild needs a haircut. The belts 34 are secured around the backrest 16of the barber chair 12 and the belts 34 are mated together to retain thebooster seat 18 on the barber chair 12. The child is seat 14ed on thebooster seat 18 and the harness 38 is secured over the child. In thisway the child is not only elevated in the barber chair 12, but the childis additionally restrained in the barber chair 12. Thus, a barber cancut the child's hair when the child falls asleep or if the child cannotsit still during the hair cut.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized thatthe optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodimentenabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials,shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, aredeemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and allequivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings anddescribed in the specification are intended to be encompassed by anembodiment of the disclosure.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of theprinciples of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications andchanges will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is notdesired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operationshown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications andequivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of thedisclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used inits non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word areincluded, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. Areference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not excludethe possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless thecontext clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
